Introduction
Phytochrome A (PhyA) is a member of the phytochrome family of red/far-red photo-
receptors. These photoreceptors are involved in a wide range of developmental
responses in plants. Fhy1 is a protein which binds PhyA under light conditions,
enable us to use this protein-protein interaction.
Materials and Methods
Cloning of constructs:
PhyA Insert was gained by PCR from plasmid D153ah-phyA using 5´ (5´-TATCGACGAA TTCGCGGCCG CTTCTAGAAA GAGGAGAAAT TAACTATGTC AGGCTCTAGG CCGAC-3´) and 3´ (5´- AACGATCACT AGTTCCGCCG TGATGGTGAT GGTGGCCTCC GTTATCGAGT TCCACCTCCT TA-3´) primers. Fhy1 Insert1 was gained by PCR from pGADT7 using 5´ (5´-TATCGACGCT AGCGATTACA TCTATGGGAC TCAGA-3´) and 3´ (5´-AACGATCGGC GCGCCCAGCA TTAGCGTTGA GAAGTAT-3´) primers. Fhy1 Insert2 was gained by PCR from pGADT7 using 5´ (5´-TATCGACGCT AGCAGTAGTA ATGCTGCTAA GTTTGT-3`) and 3´ (5´-AACGATCGGC GCGCCCAGCA TTAGCGTTGA GAAGTAT-3´) primers.
